The Day The Machine Broke Down

I hate hand washing. I mean, for the life of me, I will not hand wash a single article of clothing. Like, come on, what use will the machine be for if not to serve its purpose?

It's not that I am lazy-it's just that I choose not to. Don't get me wrong, I know how to do housework. Heck, I am as domesticated as a stepford wife, throw in the OC issues and I am IT!

I am really loving how so sexist this poster is. It makes me want to grab a mop and  scrub the floor til it gleams, while making my man a sandwich!

What I hate about hand washing is that it's just too time-consuming; and with my schedule nowadays, time is literally GOLD. I would give up my love for Johnny Depp just to have another 5 minutes of uninterrupted snooze in between hitting the snooze button ( a million times, if I may add!) on my alarm clock and floating in a sleepless coma.

The Power is Within You!

There is something about a woman's intuition that is amazingly baffling. Perhaps it's because us women are more in tune with our selves--- particularly our thoughts and feelings. Isn't weird how so on point it seems? As if we have this weird "spider sense" that tingles everytime we feel "the sour sweet winds in the air" (pardon me, but in Seuss-talk, it means "trouble". Geez, I am such a dork!). But yeah, isn't it weird when you feel like something bad is about to happen and you just can't explain why things feel so wrong; then BAM! your "premonition" comes true! How many times has this happened to you? There is actually a word for it and it's called "intuition"- A thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning (thank you, all mighty Google!).

The Working Mom Diaries: Wednesday

Wednesday.

I was busy discussing our post-holy week strategies with the boss, revising an article that needed to be published, yada yada. Everyone was bouncing off the walls  with nervous and stressful energy. We all just wanted to get the week over with, just take these 4 precious days off to go home and be with our families.

I just wanted to finish all my tasks, log out of my email account, and shut down the computer. Yes, it is that single task that makes me feel alive at the end of every tiring day. It's like a confirmation that I still have a life beyond work, like killing off the machine signals freedom and peace.

Nursery Room Makeover + Handicrafts, atbp. SUPER Giveaway

In my previous entry, I was working on several design ideas for our baby's nursery room makeover. With so many design ideas to choose from, I found it a but challenging to pick one (as I loved all of them!) so I decided to go with my beloved Dr. Suess!

If you are a regular reader, you would know how much I love Dr. Seuss! I've been reading his works since I was a kid, up to now that I have a child of my own. Isn't it so great to get to share with your kid the wonders of your own childhood? I also wanted to impart with little J the magical benefits and value of reading, and incorporating Dr. Seuss' works into his environment would be a great start!

Check out the mood board I have come up for our super baby's Dr. Seuss-inspired nursery!
